6:01 am
picture of president obama taking the oath of office set to take place before noon today. >> the obama and biden families attending services at st. john's episcopal church. why is this significant to the president? >> reporter: this church that just about every president has made a habit of attending while in office. it's an inauguration day tradition to attend service there before heading here to the west capitol steps. it's something that six presidents did and president obama did that during his first inauguration four years ago. >> obvious question. security has to be tight out there. you said you made your way at 2:00 in the morning and that took time. >> reporter: definitely a lot of security. thousands of service men from out of state came in. there are officers from out of state here assisting with crowd control looking for anything out of place. 150 blocks all around me are
6:02 am
closed down. really in terms of driving, it's at a standstill. you can't drive into the national mall. you have to be prepared to walk a good distance. i walked half a mile myself. the metros are running but there have been some talk of backups there as well and so people here dedicated to getting here. they want to take part in history. security is very tight as you can imagine with an event like this. there's even a command center with more than 42 different agencies watching and using surveillance. 30-mile no-fly zone dedicated to making sure this event goes off without a hitch. >> the swearing in will take place at 8:20 our time at the capitol. the president's inaugural address takes place a half hour later. the ceremony will also incde musical performances from james taylor, kelly clarkson and beyonce. the inaugural parade at 11:40
6:03 am
and the inaugural ball at 4:30 our time. we'll have our political analyst here just a few minutes from now. a monumental bash in d.c. and back in the bay area a celebration that stretched into the wee hours this morning and we're all sure it will last over the next two weeks. the 49ers now heading to the super bowl. >> he makes the catch. it's knocked down. the game is over. the 49ers are going to the super bowl. >> that's right. the niners come out on top after a big-time second half push. they beat the falcons to take this one 28-24. this morning the niners are back home in their own beds in the bay area after catching a late flight. we're not really sure how much sleep any of them actually got. "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live at the team store at town and country in palo alto where merchandise right there is
6:04 am
stocked. they just have that stuff flying on the she was and flying off. >> reporter: that's the idea. when they open here in a few hours at 9:00. they say the team isn't getting much sleep and fans probably aren't either. there will be a line out here trying to get caps and shirts declaring 49ers nfc champions. the champ's plane arrived around 11:45 last night. by the time their buses rolled into headquarters not far from the airport in santa clara, a small crowd of fans had gathered. none of the players came out from meet and greet but several gave high fives through their car windows as they drove by. >> some were really nice. some we were screaming but we couldn't see. it was great. >> reporter: the people who run graphics sports wear glued to last night's game as we all were waiting to see if they could start printing those champion t-shirts which wasn't clear until the last minute of the game.
6:05 am
once it was obvious san francisco had won, the company started the silk screen printing machines with the goal of printing 16,000 t-shirts before midnight because they had to get them boxed and ready to go on those trucks to be in stores like the 49ers team store here in palo alto in time for morning. again, this store is going to hope at 9:00. if you are thinking of going to new orleans, which is two sundays from now and you have the coin, it is going to cost you a bit. nose bleeds around 2,000. 10,000 if you are on the 50-yard line assuming you can get those tickets. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> i like the seat at home. free and i can get to the refridr refrigerator. baltimore celebrating their spot in that super bowl and that matchup means, ladies and gentlemen, we're about to see history. call this one the habbowl or
6:06 am
maybe even family feud or how about brobowl. niners against big brother jim harbaugh's ravens. first time in nfl history two brothers will coach against each other in that super bowl. we can tell you brothers did square off once before. thanksgiving night back in 2011. in that game, the ravens won it. they beat the niners. this time around, it's jim harbaugh's term. >> what about the parents? how do you deal with that? >> it's not easy. at least one of their boys will win. >> absolutely. the one certainty. there was one very troubling footnote to the niners win in georgia last night. this morning a 35-year-old man is injured after being slashed in the throat in the parking lot of the georgia dome after the game. a witness says the man was wearing falcons gear and was stabbed by a man wearing 49ers gear. so far no arrests have been made. new buzz this morning. 49er receiver michael crabtree
6:07 am
will likely not be charged with sexual assault. san francisco police did question crabtree about the alleged sexual assault reportedly that happened in a hotel room after the 49ers victory over green bay a week ago. so far he has not been booked or charged in this case. a league source telling espn a second female witness is backing up crabtree's version of the events. new this morning, an overnight shooting killed one person and sent another to the hospital in san francisco. police say the shooting happened on naples street. a 43-year-old man died at that scene. a 35-year-old man was taken to the hospital with what's being called nonlife threatening injuries. the suspected shooter was seen running away from the scene but police only have a very basic description of this person. this is the city's third homicide of the year. also new this morning, firefighters in san francisco searching for the cause of a two-alarm fire at an apartment
6:08 am
building. firefighters say this one started in a three-story building on 19th and california in the city's richmond district. you can see just flames and smoke bursting through the roof. it took crews about 45 minutes to finally knock this one down. happy to report nobody was hurt. the total of nine people have not yet been allowed to return to their homes. good morning to you. it's 6:09. meteorologist christina loren standing by to give us a look at the forecast. good morning. >> good morning to you. thanks for waking up with us. if you have to get to work this morning, give yourself extra time to warm up your vehicle although i will tell you right now we gave mike the day off because traffic is very light out there. if anything happens, we'll let you know. 40 degrees in san francisco. 27 to start in petaluma. frigid in wine country. 30s and 40s. cold enough for a coat. layer up today. really comfortable finish to the afternoon. 30 degrees in gilroy. 37 right now in san jose. weather headlines tell the story for the week. today we'll get close to 70 degrees especially in the south bay where we expect our warmest
6:09 am
temperatures. clouds will increase a little bit tomorrow. we expect more patchy fog off the bat. mild conditions will prevail all of the way through tuesday and then wednesday things start to change. we'll see cooler temperatures and a return of rainy days. a wet pattern to show you when we get to the seven-day outlook. upper 60s for today. 65 degrees at the coast. my seven day ready to go in that next report. help you plan around the upcoming rain showers. that's coming up soon. back to you guys for now. >> i can deal with 60s though. sounds good. >> 60 is reasonable. sunshine to go with it. 6:10 right now. more trouble on the tarmac. tires blow as a plane touches down and then veers off of a runway overnight. the latest on this investigation just ahead. it's a big anxious week for tech. we'll look coming up in business news.

6:11 am
6:12 am
welcome back, everybody. inauguration number two set to go off for president obama today in the nation's capital out in washington d.c. it's also dr. martin luther king, jr.'s birthday. quite the day out there. music. celebration. big performances. of course a lot of people wondering what michelle obama is going to be wearing. we'll keep you posted. it's 6:13. in just hours president obama will deliver his inaugural address laying out the vision for his second term. he'll likely save details remarks for the state of the union in february just some three weeks away. jim is a professor of political science. good morning. president obama delivering the state of the union in a few weeks. today's speech a preview of that? >> to a certain extent his themes will be broadly -- the problems facing the united states and what he has in mind. i don't think he'll get into too many specifics in the address today. i think he'll be talking about
6:13 am
unity and getting together to solve our problems. because even though there are a lot of specific items like gun control, the economy, that he wants to address, he cannot get any of those things done if congress doesn't cooperate with him. pleas for unity will be a strong theme of this inaugural address because he does need congress to come together behind him. that's one of the lessons he learned in the first four years is you can have an ambitious agenda but if congress doesn't cooperate you won't be successful with that. >> can he bridge a gap between parties in the second term. we are making progress on that. john boehner tried to get his own party together. he's taken a few of the more extreme people in his party off of their committee assignments to try to get them onboard so that he can negotiate deals with the president. it's been very difficult. sometimes he'll negotiate something with the president and then his own party doesn't cooperate. i think there will be a little bit more effort especially in
6:14 am
this first year to try to come together and get some things done. but time will tell. >> okay. if you were going to summarize, what's on his agenda for the next four years? i know that's a tall order. do your best. >> in many ways it will be a continuation because obviously he had an ambitious agenda the first term and didn't get things done. we still have troops in afghanistan. we still have guantanamo bay open. he promised to close that. there are a lot of foreign policy issues on his plate. obviously the economy continues to be a major source of trouble. and the budget. trying to get the debt ceiling increase which seems like a ritual now where we go up to the edge of that cliff and then at the last-minute we deal with that. there still is continuing problems. i think part of the theme is continuity trying to address the problems that have persisted over the last four years. >> thank you so much. we'll talk to you one more time. thank you so much. the time now is 6:16. right now we want to give you a check of the day's top stories. the san francisco 49ers on top of the world heading to the
6:15 am
super bowl. the team arriving at san jose international airport last night after beating the falcons 28-24. it was a spectacular victory. they'll face the baltimore ravens in super bowl xlvii in two weeks. 100 people are allowed to return to their homes near sacramento after a freight train derailed sunday morning. hazmat crews had to evacuate the entire neighborhood when a clear substance started leaking from one of the cars. that liquid was not dangerous. five of the six suspects accused in the rape and death of a medical student in india will be in an indian courtroom today. president say they plan to push for the death penalty. the sixth suspect is not appearing in court today because he is a minor. federal investigators now looking into a frightening landing at newark's new jersey liberty airport. a plane blew four tires as it landed and then veered off the runway. a port authority spokesperson
6:16 am
say it veered on a taxiway and did not hit anything. the express flight was carrying 13 people and no one was hurt. 6:17. no trading on wall street this morning. markets are closed for dr. king's birthday. >> scott mcgrew tells us anxiety over apple does not take a holiday. >> good morning. wall street has lots of things to be anxious about. apple is indeed at the top. apple shares have been on a downward path for some time now. a number of reports of reduced orders for components. a sign that apple is selling fewer dwrievices. we'll know more wednesday when they report profit. tech has not done well this earnings season. over the weekend a bizarre press conference and announcement at a party in new zealand has big tech guy kim dotcom unveiled a new line called mega.
6:17 am
now dotcom and that is his lel name faces american charges despite that he's a german and lives in new zealand. he has a long history of various charges but judges and even the prime minister of new zealand expressed doubts about the american case against him. also over the weekend, memorial in new york for internet pioneer aaron schwartz. the young man facing hacking charges who took his own life earlier this month. many in the tech community also feel the feds were overreaching in the schwartz case as well. in fact, a federal judge said if schwartz were guilty so be many of us. several instances here, jon and marla, where the obama administration and the justice department are tracking two different tech executives. people think they shouldn't be. so some displeasure against the obama administration even today on inauguration day from the tech community.
6:18 am
>> okay. we know you'll keep an eye on it for us. thank you very much. if you have the day off, get ready for a very pleasant day on this mlk, jr., holiday. good morning, christina. >> good morning to you. we have a really good looking forecast for today. it's going to hold up for tomorrow as well and then changes start to arrive. you really want to get out there and enjoy it while you still can. 37 degrees. good morning to you, san jose. 30 in gilroy. if you do have to get going this morning, give yourself extra time and travel cautiously as we do have cold enough conditions for some ice out there. 28 degrees for example in napa. ten degrees warmer santa rosa to napa. look at that. that's what the fog will do. you want to travel cautiously. a little bit of fog reported right now up in the napa area. and that should be clearing here before we hit 9:00 a.m. we'll see a lot of sunshine today. also got better air quality. moderate. spare the air a few times last week. this morning we're starting out good department when it comes to air quality and the warmth we're expecting.

6:24 am
leukemia helped inspire him on the field. the whole story was exposed last week as a fraud. te'o insists he's a victim and was not involved in the hoax. he'll share his story on camera with katie couric this thursday. here's one of those headlines you don't hear very often. grandpa versus jaws. it appears one of the ocean's most dangerous predator is no matched for a determined 62 year old. that grandfather, a british tourist vacationing in australia spotted a shark in shallow waters. the 62-year-old and another man grabbed the shark by the tail and they were playing in nearby water and saved by that man. ultimately they pushed the shark back out toward open water. now that grandpa is a hero and probably going to be interviewed by many. no one injured. >> i want to know his background. no hesitation.

6:44 am
i'm sure they're fans but they had to be to figure out who would win that game. it was not clear until the last minute of the game but once it was obvious that san francisco won, that company was able to start silk screen plentying machines. they had a goal of 15,000 t-shirts declaring the niners at the nfc champs. they had to have those done by midnight in order to get them to stores for this morning. >> we're excited that it is happening again. once we get to the super bowl and they are super bowl champions, the numbers are going to double. we're looking forward to that. >> reporter: now, the champions for nfc talking about 49ers arriving back into the bay area and when they got to headquarters, a small crowd of fans gathered. none of the players came fought a meet and greet but several gave high fives through their car windows as they drove by. if you are thinking of hopping a plane yourself to new orleans in

6:46 am
